Moss Landing Tide Gate Repair

The Moss Landing Tide Gate Repair project, led by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, aims to restore the existing tide gate facility to its original operational condition by replacing three aging culverts, each 70 linear feet in length. The facility is critical for preventing tidal flooding and blocking seawater intrusion from Moss Landing Harbor into the Moro Cojo Slough, a brackish water habitat that supports federally listed species and aligns with the Slough’s Enhancement and Management Plan. This repair work is classified as maintenance of an existing structure and qualifies for a CEQA Class 1 exemption under 14 CCR §15301, meaning it does not expand the facility’s use or environmental impact. The project is positioned as a forecast with no solicitation number, contract value, or detailed pricing provided, and submissions must include a certified document of exemption finding with a deadline of March 10, 2025. All physical submissions are to be sent to either the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento or the County Clerk in Salinas, with no electronic submission options outlined. The point of contact for inquiries is Mark Foxworthy, Senior Water Resources Engineer, and the agency’s general manager, Ara Azhdorian, serves as the lead administrative contact. No FAR clauses, evaluation factors, inspection standards, packaging requirements, or contractor certifications are included in the documentation, indicating a streamlined procurement process focused on environmental compliance and local agency execution rather than federal contracting formalities. Performance is expected at Moss Landing Harbor in Monterey County, California, with no specified period of performance, delivery schedules, or FOB terms provided.
